Table 1: Gas and electricity use
	Total (kWh)	kWh/m²
Electricity used over 25 weeks	26 413	n/a
Electricity extrapolated to 52 weeks	54 939	67†
Electricity benchmark from Econ 19 (good practice open-plan with nat. ventilation)	n/a	54
Gas used over 25 weeks	5335 (130 m³)	n/a
Gas use extrapolated to 52 weeks	11 097	14*
Gas benchmark from Econ 19 (good practice open-plan)	n/a	79
†Electricity use would actually be a little higher over a full year because the occupied period was skewed towards summer, and daylighting is less effective in winter. *Gas use would be significantly higher over 52 weeks because the occupied period missed part of the heating season. Full year figures are indicative only.
